Throughout the month of April, 海角社区app is highlighting our partnership with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic and Operation Dream Maker, which raises money to fulfill the wishes of the children of our nation鈥檚 military heroes diagnosed with critical illnesses.
In 2023, Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic granted 386 wishes to kids across D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Many of these children have parents or guardians who are serving or have served in the military.
In today鈥檚 episode of 鈥淢att About Town,鈥� 海角社区app鈥檚 Matt Kaufax talks to an inspiring Virginia fourth grader whose passions include science, math and all things ocean-related!
Meet 9-year-old Isaiah, whose story of perseverance through a liver transplant, and wish to swim with dolphins, will inspire you!
Every year on April 29, World Wish Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Make-A-Wish. April is also both the Month of the Military Child and World Wish Month!
